Plenty of actors have lent their voices to prime time animated series like The Simpsons or movies like The Croods and Toy Story. But it’s hard to imagine Saturday Morning Cartoons with huge stars. A lot of people are shocked to find out that the original voice of Shredder on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star James Avery, or to recall which Star Wars veteran was behind The Joker. Perhaps you weren't aware of the big names behind some of these childhood favorites...
Captain Planet and the Planeteers
A group of teenagers use magic rings to harness the elements and to summon Captain Planet, an environmental superhero. Each episode, they battle villains trying to pollute the environment. Whoopi Goldberg voices Gaia, the spirit of the Earth and their boss. What a lot of children at the time didn’t realize is the show’s villains are all played by major celebrities. Meg Ryan is Dr. Blight, a disfigured doctor who works with a sarcastic British computer. Jeff Goldblum plays Verminous Skumm, a mutated rat creature with a fondness for toxic waste. Sting even appears on the show as the creatively named Zarm. Other villains are played by Hollywood veterans Martin Sheen, James Coburn, Malcolm McDowell, and Ed Asner. Major celebs also stop by for guest appearances including Danny Glover, Louis Gossett Jr., and even Elizabeth Taylor.
Gargoyles
This Disney cartoon creates a mythology where stone gargoyles come to life when the sun sets. It also has a bizarre Star Trek connection. Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis play series villains David Xanatos and Demona. There are also performance by other The Next Generation stars Michael Dorn, Brett Spiner, LeVar Burton, and Colm Meany. The captains of Deep Space Nine, Avery Brooks, and Voyager, Kate Mulgrew, appear on the cartoon. Nichelle Nichols even makes an appearance.
Batman: The Animated Series
Batman is probably the most star-studded cartoon in television history. The series features appearances by stars from the 1970s to today. 1970s icons like Adrienne Barbeau, Michael York, and Marilu Henner pop by the series. Bewitched actress Elizabeth McGovern plays her last role ever on the cartoon. Mark Hamill, a.k.a. Luke Skywalker, finds a career resurgence playing The Joker. Night Court’s Richard Moll, The Beastmaster Marc Singer, and Melissa Gilbert all bring 1980s nostalgia playing major characters. Bruce Wayne’s various love interests include Heather Locklear, comedian Julie Brown, and Supergirl Helen Slater. There are also appearances by future celebrities like Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss and Megan Mullally.
Superman
Similarly, this Man of Steel cartoon has a ton of television actors lending their voices. Superman is voiced by Wings star Tim Daly and Lois Lane is Desperate Housewives star Dana Delany. Sitcom stars Peri Gilpin, Brad Garett, and Joely Fisher all appear on the show.

DreamWorks
For the bulk of every Rocky and Bullwinkle episode, moose and squirrel would engage in high concept escapades that satirized geopolitics, contemporary cinema, and the very fabrics of the human condition. With all of that to work with, there's no excuse for why the pair and their Soviet nemeses haven't gotten a decent movie adaptation. But the ingenious Mr. Peabody and his faithful boy Sherman are another story, intercut between Rocky and Bullwinkle segments to teach kids brief history lessons and toss in a nearly lethal dose of puns. Their stories and relationship were much simpler, which means that bringing their shtick to the big screen would entail a lot more invention — always risky when you're dealing with precious material.
For the most part, Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman handles the regeneration of its heroes aptly, allowing for emotionally substance in their unique father-son relationship and all the difficulties inherent therein. The story is no subtle metaphor for the difficulties surrounding gay adoption, with society decreeing that a dog, no matter how hyper-intelligent, cannot be a suitable father. The central plot has Peabody hosting a party for a disapproving child services agent and the parents of a young girl with whom 7-year-old Sherman had a schoolyard spat, all in order to prove himself a suitable dad. Of course, the WABAC comes into play when the tots take it for a spin, forcing Peabody to rush to their rescue.
Getting down to personals, we also see the left brain-heavy Peabody struggle with being father Sherman deserves. The bulk of the emotional marks are hit as we learn just how much Peabody cares for Sherman, and just how hard it has been to accept that his only family is growing up and changing.
DreamWorks
But more successful than the new is the film's handling of the old — the material that Peabody and Sherman purists will adore. They travel back in time via the WABAC Machine to Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, and the Trojan War, and 18th Century France, explaining the cultural backdrop and historical significance of the settings and characters they happen upon, all with that irreverent (but no longer racist) flare that the old cartoons enjoyed. And oh... the puns.
Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman is a f**king treasure trove of some of the most amazingly bad puns in recent cinema. This effort alone will leave you in awe.
The film does unravel in its final act, bringing the science-fiction of time travel a little too close to the forefront and dropping the ball on a good deal of its emotional groundwork. What seemed to be substantial building blocks do not pay off in the way we might, as scholars of animated family cinema, have anticipated, leaving the movie with an unfinished feeling.
But all in all, it's a bright, compassionate, reasonably educational, and occasionally funny if not altogether worthy tribute to an old favorite. And since we don't have our own WABAC machine to return to a time of regularly scheduled Peabody and Sherman cartoons, this will do okay for now.
If nothing else, it's worth your time for the puns.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have named their newborn son Bodhi Ransom. The little guy was born last week (12Feb14) and joins brothers Noah Shannon, one, and 11-year-old Kassius, Green's son from his relationship with Vanessa Marcil.

Megan Fox is a new mum - the Transformers star gave birth to a baby boy on Thursday (13Feb14), according to online reports. The child is her second son with actor husband Brian Austin Green - the couple welcomed Noah in September, 2012. Green has a 12-year-old son, called Kassius, from a previous relationship.
Fox, 27, and the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star, 40, wed in 2010. They confirmed the pregnancy in August (13).
The name of the newborn and other details have not yet been released.

If you got pregnant this year, 1.) Congratulations and 2.) you must be a celebrity, otherwise you were pregnancy buddies with a celebrity (which is just as cool). Because pretty much all celebrities who are capable of bearing children this year got pregnant. Seriously. All of them. Kim Kardashian, Halle Berry, Kate Middleton, Kate Winslet -- all of these ladies were pregnant this year and had healthy, beautiful babies. And we've got a slew of other celebrities who are about to become first-time moms or moms all over again. Olivia Wilde, Emily Blunt, Drew Barrymore, Kendra Wilkinson, Kelly Clarkson, Evelyn Lozada, Kristin Cavallari, Megan Fox, Ginnifer Goodwin -- they're all totally pregs and we can't wait to see these new celebrity babies. But of all of these (and other) pregnancies, we do have a few favorites. Here are the three celebrity pregnancies we are freaking out about the most.
Jenni 'JWOWW' Farley
Yes, folks. JWOWW from Jersey Shore is pregnant and the only reason it's not completely, entirely, mind-blowingly shocking is because Snooki already beat her to it last year, and Pauly D had a baby this year. You know you're old when all the former Jersey Shore cast members are settling down and starting families. But the truth is, Jenni's come a long way since her drunken nights on the Shore, and we can't help but be excited for her and her fiancé Roger Mathews. They announced the happy news on Christmas day with a sonogram photo on Jenni's blog, and we can expect to see that baby bump pretty soon.
Gwen Stefani
The rockin' hot mother of two looks amazing just a few months into her recent pregnancy, but that's nothing to be surprised about... considering the fact that her abs haven't changed at all since 1995. The singer has remained mum about the new baby (although she did pose in that adorable bump photo with Rachel Zoe), so we have yet to find out if she's carrying a boy or a girl. Either way, it'll be awesome but it's hard not to hope for a teeny, tiny Gwen look-alike. We can just see the Hello Kitty onesies now...
Kerry Washington
A secret marriage, a secret pregnancy; how can we not be insanely excited about Kerry Washington's baby? Like Gwen, she has yet to confirm the news but we all saw that Saturday Night Live episode she hosted and we can expect her maternity wear during awards season to be ah-mazing. Then throw in the fact that she's an intelligent, creative, gorgeous woman? We cannot wait to see Washington enter motherhood, even if it does affect future seasons of Scandal.

Before we find out which films are going to receive Oscar nominations this year, we must first see which films the critics have been heralding as the best of 2013. Several film critics associations released their award winners over the weekend, which resulted in recognition for films that are considered to be front-runners, as well as smaller films that have been critically-acclaimed but have not received as much attention as some of their counterparts. Perhaps most interestingly, these minor associations have been spreading out their accolades amongst a wide variety of films, which could mean that there won't be one film sweeping up the awards come Oscar night.
We took a look at several of the major awards categories to see if we could predict the Oscar nominations and winners based on the films that won awards from the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Washington DC Film Critics Association, the L.A. Film Critics Association and the New York Film Critics online.
Best FilmThree different critics associations — Boston Society of Film Critics, Washington D.C. Film Critics Association, and New York Film Critics Online — awarded the top prize to 12 Years A Slave, which has long been considered to be the front-runner for Best Picture at the Oscars. It's received critical acclaim as well as proven itself to have a great deal of audience appeal, and has managed to bridge the gap between the two audiences well, and earned high praise from both parties. The film's multiple wins seem to have solidified its status as the Oscar race's front-runner, as the combination of critical awards and the strong, visceral reaction that it has inspired in moviegoers means that it is not only a lock for a nomination, but is the expected winner as well. Meanwhile, the L.A. Film Critics Association went in a different direction, and awarded Best Film to both Gravity and Her. Gravity was considered a major Oscar contender when it first arrived in theaters, as its combination of strong performances and massive box office success made it the focus of a great deal of awards speculation. However, it has not been able to translate that buzz into any award wins. It's very likely to receive a nomination for Best Picture, as well as a Best Actress nod for Sandra Bullock, but it doesn't seem likely cause an upset on Oscar night. Her, meanwhile, was also awarded the top prize by the National Board of Review, and these awards have solidified the film's chances at being recognized by the Academy. Like Gravity, though, its high probability of a nomination doesn't seem likely to result in a surprise win.
Best Actor 12 Years' star Chiwetel Ejiofor was awarded Best Actor by critics in Boston, D.C., and New York, which is unsurprising since, like his film, he has been considered the frontrunner for months now. However, the Best Actor race at the Oscars is a bit harder to predict than Best Picture. Ejiofor is a lock for a nomination, but the sheer amount of critically acclaimed performances in recent films make it hard to estimate the likelihood of him taking home the award. He's still likely perceived as the one to beat come Oscar night, but there's a chance that he could be edged out by L.A. Film Critics Association winner Bruce Dern. Although Dern's film, Nebraska, hasn't received the kind of press attention that 12 Years a Slave has, Dern's performance has topped many critics' lists, and it seems highly likely that he will receive an Oscar nomination for his work. Dern could even manage to pull an upset on Oscar night, as there's a chance that the Academy might want to recognize his long, highly acclaimed career.
Best ActressIn a category that is crowded with major contenders, most of whom are previous Oscar winners, the only one who seems to be a lock is Cate Blanchett, whose performance in Blue Jasmine was awarded by all four critics associations. Blanchett's performance has received rave reviews, and she appears to be the one to beat on Oscar night. The only actress who seems likely to upset Blanchett is Adèle Exarchopoulos, star of Blue is the Warmest Color. Exarchopoulos actually tied for the L.A. critics' prize, and the amount of buzz that the film and her performance have received mean that only she and Blanchett are the definite contenders for the award this year. Unless they both manage to be upset by Emma Thompson or Meryl Streep, it seems as if this year, the Academy will mostly be deciding between awarding a promising newcomer or a previous winner.
Best Director The directing awards this weekend were split between Alfonso Cuaron for Gravity, who received three awards, and Steve McQueen, who was the favorite of the Boston Film Critics Association. Both of them are considered to be the major contenders for the Oscar this year, but its still hard to predict which one will take the award home. It's likely that Best Director would be the only major award that Gravity will walk away with, and the film's technical developments and incredible performances mean that Cuaron is deserving of the prize. However, the universal appeal and acclaim of 12 Years a Slave could swing in McQueen's favor, plus, it would be a historical moment, as a win would make McQueen the first African American man to win Best Director. Of course, there's also a chance that underdog Spike Jonze could upset them both, as his film Her has been quietly winning critics' awards. Jonze was the L.A. Film Critics runner up, and he seems highly likely to earn an Oscar nomination, which solidifies him as a possible contender.
Best Screenplay Her was the big winner for this category, winning awards from the New York and D.C. contingents. The Boston and L.A. favorites, Enough Said by Nicole Holofcener and Before Midnight by Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater, respectively, represent that this category, more than the others, is wide open when it comes to possible nominations. Enough Said and Before Midnight were both considered to be major contenders when they hit theaters over the summer, but until now have been unable to translate that into any awards recognition. Meanwhile, Jonze has proven himself to be a significant presence in the screenplay race, and it's likely that he will receive nomination come Oscar time. However, with no real front-runner so far, it's hard to predict who will go home the winner. It's anyone's game at this point.
Best Foreign FilmDespite Blue Is the Warmest Color being considered the far-and-away favorite to win the Oscar, some significant competition has recently emerged in the form of The Great Beauty, Wadjida, and The Broken Circle Breakdown. All three won awards over the weekend — Wadjida was the favorite of Boston critics, The Broken Circle Breakdown was loved by DC critics, and The Great Beauty took home the top prize at the European Film Awards — which seems to solidify the Oscar race for Best Foreign Picture. And while Blue is still considered a lock to take home the award, it could have been hurt by much of the negative press that has followed it since Cannes, which might allow one of those three films to sneak in and cause an upset. If any of them do pull it off, it will likely be The Great Beauty, which was the LA critics' runner up, and will only be helped by its major win at the European Film Awards.
Check out the full list of winners, below.

Actress Megan Fox has offered her support to charity bosses at the Avon Foundation to bring awareness to the plight of women who are victims of domestic violence. The Transformers star and bosses at Avon kicked off the International Day For The Elimination Of Violence Against Women on Monday (25Nov13), and in a video posted to her Facebook.com page, Fox says, "The statistics are frightening, one in three women around the world will be a victim of violence in their lifetime, but people aren't talking about it and without conversation the issue of domestic violence stays hidden. That's why, in recognition of the 16 Days Of Activism Against Gender Violence, I am glad to support Avon's global social media campaign, See The Signs."
Fox, who played a victim of domestic abuse in the video for Eminem's Love the Way You Lie, took part in an Avon Foundation event to educate people about the issue last week (begs18Nov13) in New York, where she debuted her baby bump.
The actress and her husband, Brian Austin Green, are expecting their second child next year (14).

If there's anything that this week's episode of Bob's Burgers teaches us, it's that three days before Thanksgiving, you better be adding a "Father-of-the-Brine" to your turkey and making sure to check the side effects on your allergy medicine so you don't accidentally submerge it in the toilet while hallucinating that you're potty training your children as an expression of your anxiety about them growing up. After last year's Thanksgiving episode established it as Bob's favorite holiday to A) get furious at Linda and the kids and B) get completely wasted on absinthe, add absuing over the counter medication as one of the Belcher's hilarious family traditions.
So, quickly, here's the best moments from each character that brought the laughs. Then, get back in the kitchen! There are cats roaming everywhere!
Bob: You might think Bob's increasing rage as his lovingly brined turkeys keep ending up in the toilet would take the prize, but instead, it was his unintentional seduction of the male supermarket deli butcher who keeps giving him new turkeys. Jon Benjamin and guest Tuc Watkins sell it. "I'm mostly straight. Also, I'm married. But if I wasn't... who am I kidding, you're out of my league. It would never work."
Linda: "I don't know... All these turkeys... it makes me horny!" Sure, it makes absolutely no sense why thirty pounds of raw poultry drenched in salty walter would seduce a woman, but it doesn't have to. Also great: her constant gagging at anything in or involving the bathroom.
Tina: Obviously, it has to be Tina falling off of a chair while attempting to cross her legs like a "lady" to be taken seriously at the adults' table. There are no other acceptable answers. (Except maybe her adult talking points. "In this economy?")
Gene: Upon seeing the first turkey submerged in the toilet, "Who pooped that? And may I apprentice with you?"
Louise: Her lovingly constructed conspiracy theories were completely wrong, but while Gene and Tina didn't team up to destroy the turkeys, she did accidentally admit she's "been slowly stealing their allowances over the last five years."
Guest Star MVP: Megan Mullally playing Linda's sister, Gail, is always good for laughs, but this week her insane mood swings and desire to be named as the culprit (despite her innocence) added exactly the right amount of chaos. "Was it Gail? 'I DON'T KNOW!' It wasn't."
Running Gags: Linda's love for Thanksgiving singing resulted in last year's improvised "Thanksgiving Song." This year, Gene, Linda, and Gail teamed up for a T-Gives carol about gravy. "Sailors in your mouth... sailors in your mouth... That's what Thanksgiving is all about!"
Overall Assessment: Holiday heartwarming murder mystery = Instant classic!

Michael Bay might not be the most well-liked of celebrities, but two brothers recently took that dislike way too far. The director sustained minor injuries after he was attacked on the set go the fourth Transformers film in Hong Kong by the pair. The brothers allegedly approached Bay and demanded HK$100,000 (which is about $12,900 in American currency), and during the ensuing discussion, they attacked Bay and three police officers.
Bay recieved minor injuries on the right side of his face in the skirmish, but appeared to be okay, and refused any medical attention. The assailants were arrested — the younger brother on suspicion of blackmail and assault and the older brother on suspicion of assault. It is not known why they wanted the money in the first place, or whether or not the officers were injured in the attacks.
Transformers: Age of Extinction will star Mark Whalberg and Nicola Peltz and is set for a 2014 release. Bay is also currently producing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesreboot, with Megan Fox starring as April O'Neill.

Summary

A statuesque actress who flaunted a "bad girl" attitude both on and off the screen, Megan Fox was one of the more popular performers of the new millennium, thanks to roles as spunky girlfriends in features like "Transformers" (2007), provocative layouts in men's magazines, and a much buzzed about romance with "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Brian Austin Green. After a successful stint as a model, Fox eventually graduated to television with recurring roles on "Hope and Faith" (ABC, 2003-06). But it was her breakout role via Michael Bay's summer blockbuster "Transformers" which helped position her as the "new Angelina Jolie." She certainly had the attitude, looks and tattoos for it. The media blitz helped her graduate to leading lady status with significant tough and sexy roles in a number of features, including the inevitable "Transformers" sequel, "Jennifer's Body" (2009) for Oscar winner Diablo Cody, and "Jonah Hex" (2010), among others - all of which virtually assured her status as one of the most popular and desirable actresses of 21st century Young Hollywood.

Notes

"Look, I'm not a lesbian. I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl – Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing. And lately I've been obsessed with Jenna Jameson..." – Fox in an interview with GQ magazine, September 2008

"I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson – who I have nothing against, but I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I've ever learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard – but I do. And part of it is my own fault." – Fox quoted in Esquire magazine, June 2009

"I'm just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores," she adds. "It's just there. It's something I don't have to turn on." – Fox quoted in Esquire magazine, June 2009

In March 2012, Fox and husband Brian Austin Green were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by a paparazzi photographer, following an altercation between Green and the photog on the beaches of Hawaii in December 2011. The lawsuit claimed that Shaw suffered serious injuries, and that Green threw his iPhone into the ocean. He asked for unspecified damages.
